Folding Knives for the Outdoor Enthusiast

Selecting a folding knife for an outdoor enthusiast may seem like a daunting decision.

Folding outdoor knives are small. Their small size makes them portable and make them easy to place anywhere. Knives have many practical uses when it comes to the outdoors. Hunters and fishermen can use folding knives to cut up their catch, hikers and campers can use knives to cut branches to clear paths, to make firewood and as self-defense.

Outdoor knives are especially made to handle the tough elements and demands of the outdoors so they are strong, durable and easy to clean and maintain. These types of knives aren’t the regular meat cutting knives you’d see at the dinner table, after all.

Which folding knives are the best? There are many types, sizes, shapes and weights, not to mention brands.
